Live Mesh 0.9.3424.31 squashes bugs, adds features

Live Mesh inside.

The biggest advantage of Live Mesh still being a beta, in my opinion, is the frequent updates the software wouldn't be getting if it was already final. The service, which is meant to allow users to access their data across multiple desktops, notebooks, and mobile devices, has hit version 0.9.3424.31, and with it comes another hefty changelog. Four new features and seven fixes are in this release—here are the details:

Features

Added option to hide the Live Mesh folder shortcuts on your desktop.

Live Mesh now remembers the last location used in the folder synchronization dialog.

Live Mesh News will now display the date (as well as time) for all news items, even older ones.

Device status (online/offline) now properly displayed on the Live Desktop, in the notifier, and in the Mesh bar.

News now correctly displays the year.

Fixed issue where Live Mesh Remote Desktop caused all Windows 7 windows to have black borders.

By default, the Live Mesh software should automatically update itself within 24 hours of the new build being posted, but in case you're still on a earlier version, right-click the Notifier icon in the system tray and you can force an immediate update. As already mentioned, this is still a Tech Preview, so Microsoft especially needs your feedback.
